06ec4bebe7 fix(tvix/eval): Actually trace spans for thunks
Currently, the span on *all* thunk force errors is the span at which the
thunk is forced, which for recursive thunk forcing ends up just being
the same span over and over again. This changes the span on thunk force
errors to be the span at which point the thunk is *created*, which is a
bit more helpful (though the printing atm is a little... crowded). To
make this work, we have to thread through the span at which a thunk is
created into a field on the thunk itself.

1f84d90811 refactor(tvix/eval): after calling, the caller has to pop
Previously the various call functions either returned `EvalResult<()>`
or `EvalResult<Value>`, which was confusing.

Now only vm::call_with returns a Value directly, and other parts of
the API just leave the stack top in the post-call state.

This makes it easier to reason about what's going on in non-tail-call
cases (which are making a comeback).

273ba73754 feat(tvix/eval): Initial resolution of <...> paths
This commit implements (lazy) resolution of `<...>` paths via either the
NIX_PATH environment variable, or the -I command-line flag - both
handled via EvalOptions. As a result, EvalOptions can no longer derive
Copy, meaning we have to clone it at each line of the repl - this is
probably not a huge deal as repl performance is not exactly an inner
loop and we're not cloning very much.

Internally, this works by creating a thunk which pushes a constant
containing the string inside the brackets to the stack, then a new
opcode to resolve that path via the `NixPath`. To get that opcode to
work, we now have to pass in the NixPath when constructing the VM.

This (intentionally) leaves out proper implementation of path resolution
via `findFile` (cppnix just calls whatever identifier called findFile is
in scope!!!) as that's widely considered a bit of a misfeature, but if
we do decide to implement that down the road it likely wouldn't be more
than a few extra ops within the thunk introduced here.

899fbdbddb refactor(tvix/eval): Compile OpAssert using conditional jumps
In order to behave nicely with tryEval, asserts need to leave the
instruction pointer in a reasonable place even if they fail - whereas
with the previous implementation catching a failed assert would still
end up running the op for the *body* of the assert. With this change, we
compile asserts much more like an `if` expression with conditional jumps
rather than having an OpAssert op.

0b06d94606 refactor(tvix/eval): Abstract away calling functions
The process of calling a function from a builtin, especially if it's got
more than 1 arrgument, is reasonably involved and easy to get wrong due
to having to interact directly with the stack - instead of having that
done entirely manually in builtins, this wraps it up in a new
`call_with` function which handles pushing arguments onto the stack and
recursively calling the (partially applied) function.

5174c21637 fix(nix/tag): correct no match check in discr
It uses discrDef internally, but passes `null` as the default tag name,
causing Nix to drop the attribute and return an empty attribute set if
the default case is hit. Consequently we need to check for the empty
attribute set, not `null` to figure out if there was no match found.

We can also test this behavior using `assertThrows` which was introduced
after the tag library was originally written.

This is pretty raw right now, there's technically nothing stopping one

just - for starters - beginning and end).

1e2d323a7c feat(tvix/eval): fancy-format parse errors returned by rnix
This change is quite verbose, so a little bit of explaining:

1. To correctly format parse errors, errors must be able to return
   more than one annotated span (the parser returns a list of errors
   for each span).

   To accomplish this, the structure of how the `Diagnostic` struct
   which formats an error is constructed has changed to delegate the
   creation of the `SpanLabel` vector to the kind of error.

2. The rnix structures don't have human-readable output formats by
   default, so some verbose methods for formatting them in
   human-readable ways have been added in the errors module. We might
   want to move these out into a submodule.

3. In many cases, the errors returned by rnix are a bit strange - so
   while we format them with all information that is easily available
   they may look weird or not necessarily help users. Consider this CL
   only a first step in the right direction.

70427fd934 refactor(nix/stateMonad): optimize after
This should save on one function application which can be a big deal for
bigger for_ loops, I suspect. It's not really complicated, so why not.

3fab3b780b feat(nix/dependency-analyzer): improved directDrvDeps for Nix >= 2.6
This codepath will basically never be used in depot, but I want to add
it as kind of a note to myself. It's kind of a neat feature, although
I'm not quite sure it is going to stick around.

57d5988b34 feat(nix/dependency-analyzer): find deps among a list of known drvs
This was written with the same intention (and reuses a little of its
code) as cl/5060 and cl/5063: We want to be able to emit dependencies
between //nix/buildkite pipeline steps, so that no agent is occupied
with waiting on locks for derivations built by a different agent.

This dependency information is already available to the Nix store
implementation (e.g. via `nix-store --query --references`) and can also
be obtained in the Nix language which is important, since the pipeline
is generated at evaluation time. (Note: For Nix 2.3, you either need a
strong convention about how derivations expose their dependencies (which
we don't) or rely on store implementation internals (drv files).
For Nix 2.6 there is a better trick, but it also relies on the existence
of drv files.)

The actual task can be formulated as follows: Given a set of
derivations, calculate the the closest derivations also in the input
each derivation depends on. (We call these (next) known dependencies.)
This is crucial because pipeline step often depend on each other only
indirectly with any number of intermediate derivations. For cl/5064 I
determined that 6 intermediate layers is quite common for dependencies
that are perceived to be “direct”.

This problem is solved as follows:

1. Calculate the dependency graph of the combined dependency closure of
   all input derivations. This is quite easy and fairly quick thanks to
   the C++ implementation of builtins.genericClosure. One weak point of
   the current implementation is that the function to determine the
   direct derivation dependencies for Nix < 2.6 is quite hacky.

2. Take the graph from 1. and calculate a dependency graph that only
   connects the known derivations of the input, but retains all
   connections between them (minus intermediate nodes).

In practice the dependency graph is represented as an attribute set
mapping derivation paths to a list of derivation paths it depends on.
The second step is performed by adding a second list of known derivation
paths it depends on.

The main improvements over the previous concept (cl/5060 and cl/5063):

* We only try to find the closest known dependencies in the dependency
  graph whereas we would traverse emit dependencies for the entire
  dependency closure.

* We immediately store the calculation of the closest known dependency
  in the dependency graph, even for intermediate nodes. This avoids
  recalculating the connection (which was a big drawback of the previous
  approach) and makes the calculation itself cheaper.

You can run `mg build //nix/dependency-analyzer:example` to build a
visualization of the internal dependencies between `depot.ci.targets` as
discovered by dependency-analyzer.

ca3bd5c7ca feat(ops/pipelines): allow accessing the nix store
This is already allowed de facto, since there seems to be a special
exception for reading from derivation outputs. What is forbidden, is
access to files imported to the store (even via builtins.toFile) and
derivation files. The latter is required for doing dependency analysis
on arbitrary derivations, unfortunately.

Access to the store allows kind of evil things, but it should
be (hopefully) hard to do this by accident, and accessing derivation
files is not impure, though it relies on store implementation internals
so to speak.

This logic was duplicated between the two rnix types before, but more
crucially - it is also needed for correctly displaying the text ranges
